Our first week!

If you are following us on Facebook, you will know that Harlow and I made it safely to Grand Teton National Park.  We are settled into a little apartment on Colter Bay, and I think our first week here has been a success.

The drive up was beautiful.  Open land, ranches, mountains - I think it was as scenic as this park is!
That's a big bull!

This area was just outside of Wyoming - just beautiful!

Exploring with the Princess.
Our first night here we were handed a can of bear spray with the warning "don't walk without it!".  Despite our worries, Harlow and I have logged in nearly 20 miles of walking and exploring.  We both keep a sharp eye out for any thing that might want to eat a Princess and her da Momma.

We've also spent some time exploring our little community of Colter Bay, as well as the neighboring Jackson Lodge area - we came across this gem!
Does dis come in princess pink, da Momma?
Harlow has also spent some time establishing the northern post of the Turtle Defense Squad.  This one is called the Northern Squirrel Defense League.  She has been diligently keeping an eye out for invading squirrels.
Dey are out dere, da Momma.
I'm hoping to do some more exploring this weekend, as well as a visit to neighboring Bridger-Teton National Forest.  It should be fun!

Harlow vs Nature

As you know, our Harlow is a little princess.  
Dere's a lump in my bed...
She has, however, decided that she wants to expand her interest and has become interested in hiking.  She has been studying Shawnee's blog (stop by and say hi!) and has decided that she was ready for her first outing.
She has a bandana, because all the cool explorers wear bandanas.
 Harlow had a lot to learn.  For one, there are a lot of princess-sized bushes in the desert...
Da Momma, you better go in front and whack some bushes for me...
That the wind can blow your butt furs something fierce...
It's quite rude to da Princess...
That the desert is full of paw poking cactus...
Dese big fuzzy ones are not shnooter friendly either!
Trust me - I thought I was going to have to carry her out after her first cactus encounter.  She was also not pleased to find the desert wanted to stick with her...
Get it?  Stick?  Bwahahaha...  Sorry...
After I checked to make sure the ground was clear of deer poop and twigs, we sat down to take a break.
Da Momma forgot my cushion...  I haz to sit on my fuzzy tail...
Of course, Harlow needed some nourishment.
Any chicken jerky in here?  Da Shawnee always eats chicken jerky.
After a while we headed back...
Dis wouldn't be so bad if it waz carpeted...
I'm hoping next time we will make it out of my Mom's driveway.
Harlow swears we hiked miles...
;)
